Absolutely had the most amazing time during this flight. I was a solo passenger and was happy to pay extra for the spare seat and totally worth the extra money.

My son's surprised me and my partner with the flight , I was in awe at the majestic mountains .

Really great experience to fly on a floatplane. Dalton our pilot was great and well informed. The views of Mt Ruapehu and the other volcanoes were spectacular from above. Not cheap but well worth it
